Shockwave object doesn't work when IE7 is installed.

UJ
I have a program that uses the Shockwave Flash Objects
(ShockwaveFlash Objects) to display a SWF. Everything works fine. When IE7 is
installed on the machine, suddenly we get an 'Invalid char line 2, char 1'
error on the SWF file. If we load the SWF file in IE it works fine. If we
uninstall IE7 and go back to 6, it works fine.

Any thoughts?

TIA - Jeff.

try checking the "Disable script debugging" options in Tools/Internet
Options/Advanced
Otherwise you may have a syntax error in the object tag.

At any rate, it really has nothing to do with the C# language, you should be
posting stuff like this in the Internet Explorer newsgroup.

But that can't be since I'm not using a tags. I'm using the shockwave object
that's part of .Net. There are no tags. So it has to be something that .Net
is doing.

Well, your post was somewhat confusing since you are talking about "IE".

The only "Shockwave Object" I know about is the Shockwave Flash Object,
which has nothing to do with .NET. It's an ActiveX control, and its installed
for Flash.

If you got it off the COM tab to add to your toolbox, that component is used
for Windows Forms based apps.

The one that shows up in a web page is created via the <object... tag
arrangement, normally.

The object I'm using is listed as AxInterop.Shock waveFlashObject s. I'm not
sure where it came from whether it's part of windows or part of the flash
install.

I am having a strange problem with the shockwave flash object (look at rwakelan.googlepages.com/flash.html to find out how to get it in a project). The easiest way to recreate the error is to: 1. Create a new project. 2. Add a custom control. 2a. Inside that custom control add a tab control. 2b. Add the shockwave object to the tab page. 2c. Set up the shockwave object with a movie. It will work fine here.
